Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
困得不行，故事老套，婚礼开始，葬礼结束，情节过于拖拉，节奏比一更慢，没有情怀的真的不用去看。缺觉的可以去补个觉
情怀啊都是情怀！The marriage is a novel, not a short story, full of plot twists along the way.
想念Sybil和大表哥，告别老夫人，唐家屯的故事，是不是就此终结了。
确实是一个时代的终结了。Mary说Matthew像童话中的王子的时候，真的好伤心。《雨中曲》+《独领风骚》但是起码也没觉得招人烦。希望每个人都幸福。
3.5；非常契合主题“A New Era”——大小姐终于正式掌舵，旧时代感情落幕，新生命加入家族，总有人离开，也总有人到来；藉由电影从无声片想有声片转变，很应景地贴合主题。这个系列拍到此时，完全似一位老友，共忆流年，追寻记忆中那个人，感慨岁月多么快赶上我们，以及死神似乎都已在招手，如果需要一个句号，我希望本片就是。
《鬼灭之刃 灶门炭治郎 立志篇》Ep11-14，我妻善逸、嘴平伊之助（山猪面具男）悉数登场，鼓屋的设计相当精巧有趣，唯一不足就是善逸这个角色太过中二
打个怪、结识两个新人用了一整篇，对比浅草篇的丰富，给人一种世界观骤然缩小的感觉。
如果Downton Abbey能一直出下去我愿意给五星～多线并行最开始有点乱，但越往后越好看～我一直相信从骨子里就坏的人是很少的，人性的多面性也是如此令人着迷啊……又被提到的大表哥啊(｡•́︿•̀｡)
这个剧组已经纯熟到拍读电话本都好看的地步了，每个人都有好归宿，但日常的摩擦又不会让剧情显得枯燥，一如既往的精致优雅，春去秋来，辞旧迎新，人来人往，温暖而祥和。
阉割版《唐顿庄园2》。婚礼开头，葬礼结束，everyone gets a happy ending，包括老伯爵夫人，喜寿，走都走得那么得体。本来是一部爽片，结果把托马斯的戏删得七零八落，就让人很不爽了。赶上了这倒退年代，也无话可说。
老夫人真的走了的时候我流泪了，但又觉得“make sense”，生命本来就是个轮回。但她的“陈年老瓜”确实是有点意思。

还是很好看很好看，居然看哭了两次😭😭对追完整个系列的人来说真的是个太好的结局
TV版11—14集。主角三人小队初聚，合力破除困境。我妻善逸与嘴平伊之助的性格特点鲜明，但也无法避免单一化的趋势。尤其是我妻善逸，过度刻画胆小有些用力过度，让人感到烦躁。
唐顿真正的「情节」在第二季就结束了，拖着一口气靠层出不穷的日常插曲和幽默讥讽的台词一直撑到现在。最多能说是电视加长番外篇，即使以默片进入有声时代，楼上楼下阶层挪移的设计嵌入电影内部拍摄电影的互文结构，本片依然是一场呵护保守主义，凌空时代病症的美梦，和电影没有任何关系。英式贵族文化的奇观消费从立意上就和无情解剖等级制度的原作大相径庭，失去能裹挟群像推进的主线剧情之后，进入「养老」模式的唐顿和满足风情观光的观众达成共识，于是病态促成于传统价值「大团圆」的结局成了剧本的唯一要务。每一个角色都值得幸福——是的，多达四十个的人物之中有一半都始终坚信侍奉主人致死是最完美的人生，这张泡沫巨网十多年坚韧如初。

还不错的，之前一直在追电视剧版，现在这个也很好看，值得一看。
有点get到鬼灭为什么口碑大爆两极分化了。3D战斗场面当然是亮点；炭治郎作为主角实在是太讨喜了；设定清晰、大部分需要思考的内容都通过内向独白之类的方式讲得清清楚楚。
😏剧场版加点新东西剪成TV还不够，还要把TV再剪成剧场版。
曾几何时看唐顿也成了怀旧了。居然那么久远了看到一个个熟悉的面孔好像也都没变。真好。
